I was about to say the opposite. They somehow made it uglier.

It’s really a good showcase of how CGI should augment practical effects, not replace them. Fury Road is another good example.

I’ve never heard of anyone else who’s seen Ladyhawke. Everyone I’ve shown it to hated it, but there’s something I love about it. The sets, locations, costumes, dialogue, all great. The transformations they tried to do on-screen are my least favorite part, though.

Don’t forget they lost Best Costume to Planet Of The Apes because the mimes they hired to play the monkeys were so convincing they were assumed by many to be real.

I watched the Netflix series and then the Making Of show about it. Apparently they tried CGI gelflings to cut costs and just couldn’t live up to the puppetry, so eventually Netflix relented and gave them enough budget to match Henson’s original quality.

Too bad he’s leaving… It was nice while it lasted.

“How are you doing this Vincent? How have you done any of this?”

“You wanna know how I did it? This is how I did it Anton. I never saved anything for the swim back.”

I’ve never had a download tagged as SuccessfulCrab that wasn’t malware. I don’t know enough about them to know if that’s their fault or the indexers’.

I was thinking of Norm Macdonald’s monologue when he got to host SNL after being fired.

Make sure you get the original version of Ghost in the Shell. I recently decided to rewatch and could only find my 2008 remaster DVD, where they replaced some scenes with CGI. It was absolute trash, and my DVD didn’t seem to have the unaltered version available.

Gattaca and Children of Men are still my top two. Absolute masterpieces that should be seen by everyone.

Tofu has been ridiculously cheap here lately, but I’m in the soybean/corn belt. It’s been pretty great, honestly. “Real” proteins are a minimum of $6 per pound for the worst cuts, so getting tofu for roughly $1 per pound has been incredible. I just wish my spouse liked it as much as me and my kid do.

Hobo code was my first thought too, but doesn’t seem to match any.

Love that song

“A Thai Wedding” by Imade Saputra. My kid loves it too. Not as easy to sing along with as you’d think.

“I didn’t say it. I declared it.”

It was an internal decapitation, provided this isn’t a second similar case I hadn’t heard about (which would be an awful trend). The whole thing was a mess, with the doctor trying to cover it up and then brush it off like it was a Three Stooges act instead of people’s lives and emotions.

I read this in the “Watch those wrist rockets!” way and completely lost it.

Code Ment “Where are you right now!?” “I’M AT SOUP”

A classic that has not aged well, but that scene will always be great.
